Mom's who are teachers too!

Hi ladies! I'm a 28 yr old FTM due in September. Looking for new friends/mommies to hang out with! I'm also a teacher and would like to know how other teachers are planning for their maternity leave. :)

I work in Houston ISD. My son was born in Sept. 8 yrs ago. I had to do lesson plans for the sub and I left work by the week. So each week I was out ( i returned the week before Thanksgiving break) i had a folder with work for each subject ( I teach 2nd grade). I'm now pregnant with my second child which is due in April. So once I go out on leave I probably won't b back for the remainder of the school year.

I just had my daughter in July and I am also a teacher, however, I was told I cannot go back to school to do anything until I am released by my doctor which will be after school starts so I am hoping my team helps out since I plan to take all 12 weeks of FMLA . My principal has known this for months and has not asked me to put lessons together or anything. Also our scope and sequence was being revisited this summer and has not been released yet.

I am also a teacher (high school) and due at the end of September (FTM). I will be working up until my little one is born and I was told to leave 2 weeks minimum of lesson plans and if possible, a curriculum guide for the rest of the semester if I want my sub to cover what my kids need to know. I do not need to leave any handouts, tests, quizzes, etc for the kids, nor do I have to worry about grading them. I will be considered on medical leave and am not allowed to do any work until my doctor releases me. The plan is that I will take about 50 days, go back to administer the final exams in December and then who knows. I am the only one who teaches what I teach and not on a team, so it sounds like you'll have an easier time with leaving the kiddos with someone else.

In what area of town do you live? Do you happen to take yoga at the Motherhood center?

I'm a teacher also and I teach 8th grade so I'm a little nervous as well about STAAR testing. I'm due in January though so hopefully will be back to work by the beginning of March. I'm just nervous having a sub for so long and being in a tested area.

Cool! I live in CFISD, but teach in SBISD. I was finished early today in the MedCenter, so I ended up not going tonight. I purchased 10 classes and I think I've gone to 4 or 5. The first class you go to is free. I'll for sure be going tomorrow because my ribs and back are killing me! I need to stretch.

I hardly know any new moms, much less FTMs, but I'm starting to meet more pregnant ladies at the center during yoga. I have only one friend that has anything younger than a toddler, so I'm quite alone in my pregnancy journey.

I know exactly what you mean I feel like there is nobody I can relate to! All my friends either have older kids or haven't had kids yet. 28 yrs old feels like such an in between age...not necessarily young or old! LOL Have you been to any child birth classes? Lakewood church offers free classes on Monday nights 7:00-8:00. Next week the topic is infant care I think?? We should meet up sometime!! My email is chabroni_us@yahoo.com :)

I am also 28, FTM due Sept 29. I teach Algebra 2 in New Caney ISD. I have already lined up my sub and plan to meet with her during I service on our workday. I have not been told what I need to do or leave, but I have a detailed calendar laid out. Now I just need to come up with assessments. I typically make my own tests (open ended), but I think to minimize potential for cheating i am going to use a test generator to make multiple versions. I am confident I have a good sub. I am also department head and have to attend cabinet meetings and hold professional learning community meetings - don't know who will handle that while I am gone. Someone from HR will call me at 6 weeks and ask how long I plan on being out. I plan to come back after thanksgiving.

Congrats on your september baby! Boy or girl? I'm getting more nervous I talked to my principal today and they still don't have a sub for me!! Elementary is hard to prep at least at my school! We don't work out of basals or worksheets either! When we do request copies of things we usually have to justify it and there's a great chance it will be denied!! Ugh!! Micro-managing is the worst!! Any teachers who teach readers or writers workshop? Balanced literacy?

I teach writing workshop (reading workshop in years past) in Katy ISD. My team is very cohesive and have great administration. So I don't feel stressed about leaving my kids in Nov. I feel very blessed after reading previous posts! Good luck to everyone!
